The wife and I were doing some simple finalized shopping for a small group to visit here tonight.
On our way home on a 30MPH street this morning, a total nutjob female suddenly darted in front of our car and was screaming. I have no idea if she was out of her element, waited way to late to cross the boulevard, or was trying to commit suicide, with our vehicle being her exit device. We came to a halt about two feet from her, and I jumped out of my vehicle yelling and wondering WTF was her problem. A county cop was nearby. He got out of his vehicle, grabbed me, and then started to yell and chastise ME for yelling at her!!! And then threatened us, without ever going up to that individual to find out what HER problem was.
We've known every Precinct captain over the past seven years, the county commanders, etc....because we are 'big shots' in a way with the county police and our elected officials. But, WE were threatened for 'harrassing' some nut who was lucky that I have great peripheral vision. Yes, I have his badge number, the car number, and will be talking with Captain Chemelli and Commander Hyatt tomorrow.
Glad that the last day of the year did not result in a fatality at 'my hands'.
